User specific data access

0
How would I configure data access to specific users using MendixSSO? The idea is to have a report that John and his manager James can look at, but Mary and her manager Josheph can’t look at and vise versa.

HI Reece Heald,


The data access is purely what we handle at the Entity level and Page level using Xpath.

For your useCase you will have to keep in one thing while developing. 

  • There should be Some Connection between the employee and his/her manager/managers.

Whether the report page is a Normal page with just a list of data or a Visualized page with a chart, you can keep DS flow to load the data. In the microflow check the current user and check if he is a Manager or employee. then retrieve data based on the user Role and other constraints you have.

or 
You can always set Xpath Constraints in your Domain Model for the user role.

Hope it helps .
